Andøya Photos on Instagram

Jaw-dropping! 🤩 These incredible pictures show humpback whales and orcas feeding and playing off the coast of Norway. From leaping out of the water to gorging on giant mouthfuls of herring, these sea mammals look as though they're truly having a whale of a time! Each year, hundreds of whales flock to northern Norway between October and January for the abundant herring stocks, with a mass feeding frenzy taking place. 🐳 💦
Award-winning photographer Espen Bergersen, 37, he has been ardently documenting the magnificent creatures during their migration. He first noticed dozens of orcas and humpbacks gathering close to the shore by his childhood home on the northern Norwegian island of Andøya, eight years ago. His work is helping scientists better understand their mysterious feeding, mating and communication behaviours. For more images swipe ⬅️ (📸Credit: Espen Bergersen)
